About the Session

Session 3 is devoted to red Burgundy, drawing together some of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Grower estates such as Armand Rousseau, Denis Mortet, Denis Bachelet, Georges Lignier and Ghislaine Barthod anchor a run of grand and premier cru Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis and Vosne-Romanée, while a extraordinary group of lots from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, including Échézeaux, Grands Échézeaux, Richebourg, La Tâche and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, forms the session's centrepiece. Rounded out by classic bottlings from Volnay, Pommard and Nuits-Saint-Georges, plus a scattering of Beaujolais crus, this session offers exceptional depth for Pinot Noir collectors.

About this Item

Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode 2015
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Domaine Bruno Clair, based in Marsannay, was founded in 1979 and rebuilt from the dissolution of his grandfather's legendary Domaine Clair-Daü, and today ranks among Burgundy's most admired estates, farming old vines across many of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. La Dominode is the estate's celebrated old-vine cuvée from within the Les Jarrons Premier Cru, its vines first planted in 1902. 2015 was an outstanding, warm and ripe Côte de Beaune vintage of rich, generous and structured reds. Julia Harding MW from JancisRobinson.com gave it 16 out of 20, with Allen Meadows also reviewing it for Burghound.com.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

"Light to mid crimson. Sweet cherry aroma. Light and juicy. Lightly structured to match. A bit lean on the finish." - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Jan 2017)

"This offers a step up in aromatic complexity with its spicy and floral-scented nose of both red and dark cherry, earth and soft tea nuances. There is also excellent volume to the stony, rich and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a mildly austere finish that is shaped by dense but fine tannins. This too will require at least some patience and should reward 10+ years of cellaring." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jan 2017)
